Values are not nice words on a wall. They are what you actually think matters when it costs you something. Start by noticing what is alive in you right now.
Exercise in 4 steps, about 10 minutes. Doing it is part of Premium, which you try free for 7 days with no card. With Premium your answers are saved so you can pick up where you left off and look back at what you wrote.

Why does it work?
Combines two tested components: value work from ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy, meta-analysis A-Tjak 2015, moderate support) and giving an intention a fixed time and place, which makes it more likely to turn into action (Gollwitzer & Sheeran 2006). The weekly format itself has not been studied.
Account, your first assessment with the hexagon and one new measurement every quarter are free. The rest is part of Premium: SEK 99 a month or SEK 699 a year, VAT included.
